Unable to link dropbox desktop client in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - "Invalid URL"

I've installed dropbox on my desktop from the .deb. On opening it, I click the drop down and firefox opens to a URL like   https://www.dropbox.com/cli_link_nonce?nonce=4217fadb61d996a55bdec9ec41e...

    I solved it, it was spawning background firefox instances at the same time that were using the nonce before it was then opening it in the foreground and showing me the error. I killed the process spawning the background firefox instances and it suddenly worked
